A neat exercise, but...you do realize this means you now have 2 domains with identical content so google will consider your new domain a duplicate of the first one and rank both sites lower since the content is no longer "unique" ?
This is bad for SEO is what i'm saying.
Other than that, i guess it's ok. I don't see much use for it, if i wanted domain B to point to content of A then i'd set up the site under domain B to start with.
You can do that easily by buying the domain, and using netlify/heroky/digital ocean apps for a static site or get a hosting server for like $5/month if you need a database and a dynamic setup.

That's a great point! I think we could easily prevent that by modifying the Cloudflare workers' script to contain a canonical tag.

Sure, you could always do that, but the use-cases I illustrated for the demo don't actually have that functionality. One essential requirement of the way you're implying is that the app should be open source, and the use-cases I show for are either, non-open source, or have limitations on the 'traditional' way to add a domain, such as the lack thereof, or the functionality sitting behind a paywall.
Thanks for reading and your awesome arguments ๐ฅ๐
